Is there anyone out there custom cutting stencils? I'm not looking for computer cut vinyl, or mask, but good old fashioned oilboard. 1/2 and 1 inch preferably. If not, is there enough of a market to amortize buying a stencil cutter? |

Jeff- Have you got the US wartime stencil font (fonts?) for your machine? Dan warbirds@shaw.ca |

As in the ww2 font seen on vehicles?? These are standard stencil font. The machines are made by Marsh. |

Comparing modern US military stenciling to some of the surviving maintenance instruction stenciling on my BT-13, it looks like some of the individual letters have changed a bit. The wartime lettering looks more block-like, sort of a simpler looking font (to me, anyway, but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.) I'll see if I can find a few examples and scan and post them. What era are your machines from? |

They are atleast 20+ years my guess. Send me the scan of what you find. I hope to snag a 1/4" machine soon |

Dan, is this what you’re talking about? Here’s a T-28 outer wing panel that we haven’t done anything to yet. The 1” CAUTION has a bit of a radius on the A and N, while the smaller font is "blockier". (if that's a word) |

How tall is the "CAUTION"? |
